[ANN][SPT] - Spots - Cryptsy | Fork 9/19 | Scrypt | Introducing Reward Reduction

[indiguy]

Stay with bitcointalk. It very hard to develop a community from scratch, here in bitcoin you already have users interested to join.  If I have to give a critic, you might wanna create a better logo to the new site http://www.thespt.com

I've added Spots on our wiki http://coinwik.org/Spots

If you know of other facts and links that can be added to the page, please feel free to update the page.

Rented a rig. Difficulty seems to be pretty low right now

Just have a question is this the same SPT that is being traded on cryptsy because the name spots2 is confusing me :p

[MrData]

Once Cryptsy updates their client it will be, yes. (We did give them over a weeks notice but it doesn't look like they've done it yet.)

[tuanvtau]

[shivamchawla]

Right now on http://mine.thespt.com i am seeing pool hashrate 23mh/s and Network hashrate:15mh/s How can this be possible? Is the pool working?

The pool is running fine. All of those stats are calculated averages. It'll adjust over time now things are stablizing.

I'm going to remove all the references to a Spots2, since this really is just the Spots coin on an updated (v2) client.

Ya, that would be better. I am still waiting for the cryptsy update though. How much time will it take as i really want to see the new floor value before mining more coins.

coins-e doesn't seem to be working, there is no way to make a deposit address through them

Regarding the updates at Coins-E.com and Cryptsy.com...  In both cases the administrators of those sites were made aware of the planned fork almost 2 weeks ago.  To date it appears neither site has taken action to upgrade their software to v2 as of this writing.

If you use either site I recommend that the community members submit support tickets to have the client upgraded, so these administrators understand the fork is community supported and they are impacting several people.  I am continuing to update support tickets to try to bring this to resolution.

Additionally, as a back-up plan, I believe with a few nights of programming I can launch a SPT / BTC exchange on our website.  In an environment that is supposed to be decentralized, I am realizing that we have given an inappropriate amount of power to a few exchanges.  These sites are holding up our progress as a community, without any good reason...  It isn't, and shouldn't be, acceptable...

Hi AmericanComputerNerd. I have a question, is this a revival of the old coin "spots" or is this a new coin with the same name? I'll hang up and listen.

Cryptsy's support is way too crap. I suggest rather than making your exchange, apply for smaller and well managed exchanges like bittrex and poloneix.
